“New Year’s Eve” – the ensemble romantic comedy starring dozens of A-listers including Ashton Kutcher, Halle Berry, Katherine Heigl, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Biel, Zac Efron, Lea Michele and many others – won the box office weekend with a dismal $13.7 million gross.

Variety reports that, overall, it was worst weekend at the domestic box office in three years. While “New Year’s Eve” (a themed sequel of sorts to 2010′s far more successful “Valentine’s Day,” which opened with a huge $56 million) fell below expectations, Jonah Hill’s comedy “The Sitter,” at number two, earned $10 million in its first weekend, as roughly projected earlier this week.

Ticket sales were down 6 percent last weekend, and 20 percent down from the same time last year, when Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp’s film “The Tourist” opened to a disappointing $16.5 million.

Landing in third place was “Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ in its third week out – with an overall gross now just below $260 million. “The Muppets” ($7.1 million) and “Arthur Christmas” ($6.6 million) rounded out the top five. [Source]
